Organic farmers in Hillsboro were already using their winter hay supply to feed their livestock as pastures dried up. Two streams have run dry. The farmer was praying for rain.
Some neighbors who were unable to locate hay or water for their herds were selling cattle. One cut his herd by 18%, while another reduced his herd by 27%.
